Have to disagree here...While Leica doesn't seem as interested as N & C
in serious pro support, you have to consider that  - one, the Ms are
certainly more reliable and longer lived than the current generation of
M&C equipment; and, second, and most important, if it's the best tool
for a given photographer, it's the best tool, no matter what the
company's attitude may be.
